[Geoserver-devel] Geoserver with TIGER and Web-app

I've made available my super-simple Geoserver web-app that I showed at
MUM3 and GISMO. Several people have expressed interest, so I made it
available.

UDIG folks might be interested because I setup the
server/geoserver/data/actual_data/ directory with a bunch of shapefiles
with an equally-named .sld so you can just load them into udig and be
happy.

If you go to:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=25086&package_id=159257&release_id=345465

You will see a .exe geoserver installer (its the same as 1.3.0-RC2, but
with antialiasing on) with the small tiger sample data and the web app
I showed at MUM3 and GISMO.

You will also see a configuration dir (see below). Udiggers might be
interested in downloading just this.

--------------------------------------------------------

I've added another configuration option "tiger_and_apps" which you can
deploy in any of these manners:

1. Modify your build.properies and add/modify this line:
        test.type=tiger_and_apps
   Build & deploy as normal.

2. Edit an existing configuration by :
     a) deleting the data/ directory and replacing it with the
         tiger_and_apps/data/ directory.
     b) replace the WEB-INF/catalog.xml and WEB-INF/services.xml with
the
         tiger_and_apps/WEB-INF/ versions.

3. Point your GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR point to the tiger_and_apps directory
      a) modify the web.xml file and set the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR
parameter
   OR b) set the GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR envirnoment

     see http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOS/Geoserver+Data+Directory
     NOTE: you will not be able to run the web apps if you do it this
way.

NOTE: the data dir can be downloaded here:

-----------------------------------------------------

If you do #1 or #2, then you'll also be able to run the demo application
that
I wrote for MUM3. Just point your browser to
http://localhost:8080/geoserver/data/popup.html
and then:

a) "hover" the mouse over one of the yellow-and-red hotspots to
    see a pop-up mini-picture of that area (see attached screen shot)

b) "click" on a hotspot to see an enlarged picture

c) "click" on the map (where there isnt a hotspot) and you can add one

d) you can "draw" a bounding box to zoom in

e) you can press the "zoomout" button to zoom out

f) there are 4 big pink buttons around the image you can also use to
   navigate.

More information about the technical details of this application are

Thanks Dave - how does udig do at connecting to this configuration of geoserver?
